Default How much RWHP do you need to....

Lift your front wheels off the ground? For those who do it...how much rwhp did you have the first time you did it? Im making it a personal goal.

A lot more to it than power, suspension and weight transfer come to question, also the weight on the front suspension as well as the weight of the car.

Ok, on average, if you have standard front end weight, with all suspension parts needed.

Wheelstands are cool once but it usually just gets you beat and/or broken parts

thats is the more extreme cases though, I think he's just asking about doing it on a small scale, like maybe both wheels at least 1 in or something

like he said, its a "goal" to achieve

Horsepower doesn't pull the wheels, torque does.

There isn't a set amount of power that will make the front end of a car go in the air. A 13 second Mustang can pop wheelies with a tweek of the suspension and on the other hand, there are 9 second F-bodies that barely lift during the launch. It is all about how you set up the car.
